Attorney Mansour agreed with the town priest. "If the Christian world wants there to be Christians in the Holy Land, they should be aware of what's going on and put pressure on the Israeli government.
"We're supposed to be citizens in this country, and we pay taxes. This country should protect its citizens whatever their religion is—especially Arab Christians because we have no power. We're a minority inside a minority. We are peaceful, very good citizens."
Deann Alford, a journalist with Compass Direct News, is based in Austin, Texas.
